Role of an APE Student Assistant

The Adapted Physical Education program depends on trained student assistants and volunteers who are interested in and willing to work with people with disabilities in the exercise classroom. It is an opportunity for hands-on experience and great to put on your resume/transcript. Many assistants go on to become

massage therapists

occupational therapists,

recreational therapists

adapted physical educators

personal trainers

Many others continue their education in completely unrelated fields. Either way, it is an opportunity to build skills working with a diverse population.
